I Am Real Poem by Kristina Tapayan

Don't look so down and just do your smile
Frowning was just never your style
Please, Stop crying
Come on now, no need for hiding

Each day you come to visit me
Happiness grows, I can clearly see
You asking me If I want to stay
Yes. I will, now let's play

You said you'll never leave
But you lied, I've been deceived
I was always patient and you knew
I will always wait for you

Years passed by, I've lost my color
The clock ticking, it's making me feel smaller
I know I will get through
Just enough time for me to see you anew

You came to me one lonely day
I'm glad to see you haven't gone astray
But then why do you have the look of despair
That emotion, I always found quite so rare

I stood up, and walked to you
But I just went through
Why can't I touch you?
No. No, this can't be true!

I am real!
As clear as the sky and as hard as steel
I am living here, in flesh and bones
I wanted to touch you after all these years of being on my own

I guess I dreamed to much
I can't do anything even do a touch
No more tears left for me now
I must honor my vow

No need to cry for me, precious friend
I'll be with you through the beginning until the end
I'll be looking after you
Yes, I love you too
